1 Maccabees 6:27
>[27]Unless you forestall them at once, they will go on to even bigger things, and then you will never be able to control them.'
This is why God doesn't just up and bless you with millions of dollars right now just because you want it so bad. He knows the pay at your job is mediocre. But if hundreds of thousands of dollars were to flood into your bank account right now, you may end up becoming hard to control. I think some folks label it as "being an over-spender". Like someone who discovers a source of pleasure, and then starts abusing it.
So many people worship money and the things that money buys instead of God. Humanity needs to seek first the Kingdom of God. Then the riches will roll in. The harder you are to control once the riches roll in, the likely God will end up humbling you. And that always brings misery/regret/grumpiness/bitterness.
